We have been friends for longer then we can remember (seriously we tried to figure it out one day!!). We love to craft, cook, organize, and play. Rather then continuing our 100+ text messages a day we thought we would share our skills with everyone! We hope you enjoy and will follow our journey

Snicker doodle Heaven

This last weekend we were suppose to travel, but Miss A was sick with a cold(some things are better not shared!). I was in charge of bringing deserts, which is usually my job when there is food assignments! I can bake but, I can NOT cook! Tara is the pro at cooking! Back to my story! I had bought this Betty Crocker mix with every intention of making a cinnamon cake. When plans changed so did my recipe! We will eat cookies at my house but cake has a VERY long shelf life! Thus I bring you Snicker doodle Cups!

Items Needed:

Cake mix(Cinnamon or Yellow and you can add cinnamon)

1 egg

1/2 cup (or 1 stick)melted butter

Frosting or filling for your cups

To make the snicker doodle you simple melt your butter then add the cake mix and then the egg. I usually do this order because I am afraid the hot melted butter will cook the egg! Once you get your dough simple scoop into a mini muffin pan (Mine is very well used!). Bake at 350* for 8-10 min (until light brown)Have you ever attended a Pampered Chef party? Well Next time you go buy one of these. They are around 3 Bucks and they are awesome! It is a mini tart shaper. When your cups come out of the over they will be lightly brown, spray your mini tart shaper with cooking spray to help them not stick and press down the center of each cup. Once all the tops are pressed down simply move to an air tight container and let cool

Once the cups have cooled (We ate them still warm!) fill with your favorite frosting. I used cream cheese frosting, also from Betty Crocker (why mess with perfection!) and they were awesome!

These look very yummy! I make the little cups in several different flavors and fill with frosting, but this is one I will definitely need to try! Here's a little tip if you don't have the tart shaper (I don't have one) - the bottom of a shot glass works very well also. It fits the mini muffin shape perfectly to shape it into a cup. Hope that helps those of you that don't have a tart shaper!

The Mini-Tart Shaper is an awesome little tool with lots of uses! I'm a Pampered Chef Consultant & if u want one, u can go to www.pamperedchef.com and there is a path on the website so u can either order directly from there or they will send ur name to a Consultant near u & they'll contact u! We also have really great mini-muffin tins!! I'm going to see about using this recipe in my shows!

I agree with Crystal -- the Mini-Tart Shaper IS an AWESOME little tool with LOTS of uses! I'm also a Pampered Chef Consultant -- if you want to order one, visit www.pamperedchef.com -- you can find a local consultant there (if you'd like to host a show) -- or you can order from my website at www.pamperedchef.biz/kristenh and have your order shipped directly to your door. Pampered Chef also has really great muffin and mini-muffin tins -- as well as other baking essentials!

Wow You guys are awesome, to answer your questions: I used a 1/2 of cup of butter and the frosting I am a litle embarressed but it was a plain old Betty Crocker cream cheese, why mess with perfection!! Thank you all for helping me and Connie the melted SNicker bar sounds INCREDIBLE!!!

My husband LOVES Snickerdoodles and was just asking me this morning when I was going to make them again. These look amazing and I love that little tart tamper tool thingy. I'll be able to use that again and again. Hopefully this is something that can be found elsewhere as I've not heard of a Pampered Chef party in about a decade.

Wow, these look like some fantastically delicious little bites. What a great idea. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog and I'd like to invite you to stop by and link your snickerdoodles up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/03/sweets-for-saturday-10.html
